  GRID-ARENDAL OCCASIONAL PAPER No. 1 2005 (1.3mb pdf)
IMPACT II - TELLING GOOD STORIES
We have the message, but how to communicate it using the right messenger? A collection of practices and lessons.
Three annual seminars were held (2000-2002), where GRID-Arendal and UNEP profited from panel expertise and stimulating discussions providing recommendations for follow-up. It is our hope that this Paper will further contribute to a result-oriented communication of environmental information, affecting policy development and decision-making.
